70mai Omni World's First 360 Degree Dashcam Launched on Kickstarter

The dashboard camera ( dashcam ) maker company, 70mai officially launched its newest product, the 70mai Omni dashcam which is capable of recording at a 360-degree angle. This ability is claimed to be the first in the world. The ability to record 360-degree video is made possible thanks to a camera with a 140-degree viewing angle that can be rotated 340 degrees. With this setup, car drivers can see the condition of the vehicle from all sides, both front, and rear. Dashcam 70mai Omni is designed to record all events inside and outside the car, even when the car is parked, with 24-hour surveillance features through an AI-based algorithm system ( artificial intelligence / AI).

In short, the algorithm can detect humans and identify whether the human figure is suspicious or not. If the system gets a “signal” that the human figure is suspicious, the camera will automatically record. The Omni Dashcam is also equipped with other features in an emergency. When an accident or collision occurs, the camera will automatically record an emergency video for two seconds before the collision. In line with the statement above, the 70mai Omni dashcam is also claimed to be free from blind spots. So, drivers don’t have to worry about the car being hit or scratched when they have to park, pass through narrow streets, and so on.
